Article Summary

  • Chad Michael Murray embraces nostalgia in the sequel to Disney's beloved Freaky Friday.
  • Jamie Lee Curtis praised by Murray for her first-class performance in Freakier Friday.
  • Lindsay Lohan delivers a crushing performance in the anticipated Freakier Friday sequel.
  • Excitement builds for August 8, 2025, theatrical release of Freakier Friday.

After more than two decades, it's hard to believe that we're getting a sequel to the 2003 Disney comedy film Freaky Friday, but it's actually happening. In fact, the film (which already wrapped production) is even poised for a theatrical return, proving that the studio has faith in its potential to entertain audiences once more.

Now, during an interview with Elle, Freakier Friday star Chad Michael Murray recently shared his experience in returning for the sequel, telling the publication, "It's such a nostalgia kick. It felt like no time had passed, even though we all had lives in the 23 years from set to set. I do have a pretty meaty monologue that was nowhere in the actual script, and I hope it turns out to be epic." He then notes, "[Jamie Lee Curtis] is just first-class all around. I obviously embrace that relationship, and I'm so grateful to her." As for Lohan's return? The actor explains, "She freaking crushes it in the movie—just wait."
